| Voiced by | Tom Kenny |
| Affiliation | Xiaolin |
| Signature Shen Gong Wu | Eye of Dashi |
Grand Master Dashi lived over 1500 years ago. The story implies that Dashi was the very first Xiaolin Monk and that he created the mystical Shen Gong Wu, which the series features prominently. One of the Shen Gong Wu, the lightning shooting Eye of Dashi is named after him. 1500 years ago, he, Master Monk Guan, Chase Young, and Dojo Kanojo Cho defeated Wuya.
Dashi appears twice in the series. In his first appearance, Omi uses Jack Spicer's "Evil" Time Machine to go back to the past to get Dashi's help. Encountering Dashi, Omi explains his predicament, and after the two compete in a Xiaolin Showdown, Dashi gives Omi a second wooden puzzle box with which to trap Wuya. When Omi realizes that he is trapped in the past and panics, Dashi calms him down. Unfortunately for Omi, Dashi and Dojo had already buried their time-traveling Shen Gong Wu, The Sands of Time. Dashi gives Omi some advice and departs, which Omi is able to use to return to the future. When Raimundo Pedrosa opens the puzzle box, Dashi's spirit appears and traps Wuya inside it. Dashi appears at the end of "Time After Time:Part 1" and the start of "Time After Time:Part 2". Though it contains inconsistencies with earlier parts of the series, such as Dashi's non-use of Shen Gong Wu, this scene is a re-enactment of Wuya's original banishment.

[edit] Character personality
Dashi is an honest and true person who upholds good moral judgment, although the way he acts hardly fits the description of a Master Monk. While highly skilled and exceptionally strong, he is very lazy and apathetic towards taking immediate action, preferring to take things slowly. His speech and mannerisms are centuries ahead of his time, although this is more than likely purely for the sake of humor. While he can appear fickle, he does believe in justice and will take action when required. He is best friends with Dojo, although his temper is short in response to Dojo's incompetence.
[edit] Outfit
Dashi wears a grey coat that is tied together and a pair of white pants, though he becomes shirtless while fighting. While disguised as a hobo, Dashi wears a straw hat. While in spirit form, a spectral tail replaces Dashi's legs.
[edit] Voice
Tom Kenny provides the voice of Dashi. As well as many other characters in the series, including Hannibal Roy Bean, Raimundo, and Vlad.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Dashi is an extremely agile and quick-witted martial artist. In "Days Past", Dashi did not use any mystical or elemental. He is also above using Shen Gong Wu in Xiaolin Showdowns, and clearly does not require them. In the episode "Time After Time:Part 2", he employed some very powerful energy blast attacks, which destroyed masses of Wuya's rock creatures he is the only character seen releasing energy from his hand beside for Master Monk Guan. Such a feat is difficult for the monks when Wuya employs her rock creatures again 1500 years later. He also converts a pebble into a puzzle box for Omi.
